Things you saw the resolution'ers doing in the gym today

[KingOfManlets]

I was the only one in my gym this morning and it felt great. I anticipated how bad it would be later in the day so I woke up at 4 and went before work.

this pretty much my gym was empty, had a ****ing intense chest workout but i was sick after

[PunyBrah]

i hate this time of year.

i am a skinny kunt so i get looks as if im a resolutioner....

when will it be mine turn to laugh at others

[SVTBlackie]

OP here, in the military, currently deployed. Know those feels. Especially the bolded ones, SO MUCH REAL LIFE. Makes me rage every day. Especially when they try and tell me what do to and it's completely obvious they have no idea what they're doing. It's always like that, but noticed that it's been even worse around here since New Years. Thought it would be different since it's Afghanistan but I guess people still have resolutions that they waiting til New Years to start.

Currently have my own set up at home but this time next year I'll be overseas and I'm dreading this

[lightlyfried]

I love training at home!

One day if I ever get a big enough house, or the money, i'd love to have my own gym, be awesome, no a**holes throwing weights or hogging equipment for like 10 sets... lol sounds like heaven

[AgRyan]

Years ago, I had a guy tell me that I could squat more weight "if I didn't go down so far".

He's right brah :trollface:

Some guy who just started working out told me he could squat 550 or something.... Didn't see him, but he probably did a 1/10th squat. Just like I saw some guy load up 4 plates to do a shrug, and he got it off the bars, then put in down and was like "fuk yeah!".

The guys that are roided out but still retarded are the worst. Had one big roided guy in my unit going around telling people to take FOUR SCOOPS of whey post workout, so low and behold, everyone is taking 4 scoops and going through tubs like crazy. brb, 100g shake post workout and not a single carb was seen that day.

I'm a weekend warrior so the majority of my unit is skinny fat or overweight so I don't expect too much of that' but who knows

[Superher0Soul]

abs roller in squat rack.
wait wut!?

[Mr.Serpent]

Especially when they go and act like they've been training for 20 years and their not doing a thing right, and doing a different body part every set

I'm not sticking up for resolutioners, because they're almost definitely doing full body workouts wrong. But the hurr durr bodybuilder mentality that you always have to work out with body part splits really annoys me.

[wisdommaster1]

Saw two guys from my platoon in the gym today doing decline BB press with 15lbs on each side... told them that there are girls over there doing more weight than they were and they should do some heavier weight if they want to get bigger (I know that's their goal). Then they told me they were doing "High reps, light weight so they can get ripped instead of big".

haha brb toning my arms

I do splits cause its easier, like if i do back and biceps then a full body day after i'd been aching to much from the day before, splits are just easier IMO

[g0time]

saw a guy doing IIFYM, lol

[Nattydread]

Y'all guys gyms sound like hell, even at times after the resolutionists are gone.

brb only regulars today
brb less regulars than usual
brb much more gym etiquette in gym I'm at
brb gym gets crowded in evening
brb I'm done by mid afternoon

Splits are easier and if you're working your back, 95% of the time you also should be working your bis, so you might as well hit them too. It just works out better/easier.

People that don't know what they're doing and work out shoulders/Bis then Back/tris the next day or something for example are going to be working the same muscles two days in a row, probably not knowing it.

[AppleHeart]

Saw a guy doing bench dips on the the safety pins of the squat racks (the only rack in my gym...). The worst is that I don't think he was gym resolutionner...

Mine goes like
back/bis
chest/tris
Shoulders/traps
Legs/calves

(Not in that order just a example)

That's what I used to do too, really liked it.

Changed it up and now I'm doing Chest/Back/Shoulders/Arms with legs every other day and abs on the days I don't do legs.

Wish i had the stamina bro, I have to do a fair few sets on each body part to feel burn unless its back and arms, cause i get bicep pump doing back

[Blenkiron]

Two kids on pull up bar boosting each other up to it, swinging leg pull up, pushin each other tithe top to do a rep

Chest and bicep day... One kid on bench press with a 15 each side and his spotter pretty much curling the be with him on every damn rep

[lcurtis20]

65lb DB front raises super setted wtih shrugs.


ps. they were hardly DB front raises...was watching and waiting for him to snap it all up. There was a good 5 or 6 ppl just watching like WTF!

[Eskimo]

i go between 10-12 in the morning so I miss the herds of people in Golds but its usually the same 10-15 people in there that workout at that time plus a bunch of random people.

I saw today
-more older(like 50+)people and didnt see any of them do anything lulzy except typical old people ****....abs and hip abductor machines thats all they seem to do.
-saw a non-strong obese gentlemen doing flat bench/incline bench/one arm preacher curls as a circuit.

But, I really dont even pay attention to people in the gym for the most part. Specially since I dont even have a split I seriously have just been going to the gym for the last couple months and just doing whatever I feel like doing that day which usually consists of what I assume is some weird full body workouts so I am sure I am bert stared.

GJOP, I have a question:

- Aren't you required to work out in the military as a matter of course? Outside of PT, don't you have to train weights etc? Do some people just not?
- What's the situation in the gym? Is rank irrelevant off-duty (or whatever the term/context is)? Do you have to relinquish a bench of a Captain shows up?
- Is the base big enough that you don't know everyone, so you see unknowns and don't know their rank?

Pretty good deal if you can lift and misc while deployed.

not OP but can answer.

-you arent required to workout but in some units it is recommended and in some units you may only have 1 day of group PT and the rest is up to you
-irrelevant, can pull some lulzy things though depending where you are like if deployed on a small base....such as telling a private to gtfo the gym and go eat and come back when he is bigger then my sister, but prob not a good idea to do stupid **** in the gym since you never know who is in there.
-you either workout in PT uniform, civies or depending where you are your actual uniform(such as on deployment)so no one will know your rank for the most part.

You could be laughing at some Colonel curling in the squat rack and not even know it brah.

We are required to do PT, but PT is mainly cardio with some pushups, pullups, and situps thrown in. No one is required to weight train, although here on deployment a lot of us are doing it since there's not really much else to do, which increases the amount of gym newbs by 10. Back in the States though hardly anyone weight trains.

Everyone is basically equal at the gym, I workout with someone above me, but he is new and knows I know more about lifting so he listens to me in the gym, of course I still call him Sgt, show him respect, it's not like it is outside. What is annoying is when a high rank gym newb acts like his rank = his gym knowledge and he knows more. brb, knowing more about a science because I've been in the Army longer, therefore having a higher rank.

Base is pretty big but when we workout we usually see the same couple hundred people so you get used to the faces. Most of the people I recognize and would know their rank are people in my company. Was talking to a guy the other day about some stuff and he was a Captain, didn't even know til he left and put on his uniform top.

Lots of lifting and miscing going on. Nothing else to do in all the free time. I'd rather misc than watch movies most of the time.

[essfjay]

Last year at 24 hour fitness it was ridiculous. Lots of new cute girls which was nice, but for every new cute girl there were 10 obese ones and 20 douche bags trying to look like their favorite jersey shore character.

lol same here man. ton of cardio bunnies at the gym today. had a few douche bag guys who were just on the machines or by them talking & not even using them. had to tell one guy that was just sitting on a bench talking to his other ******* friends to get the **** out the whey so i could finish my workout.

[chuck2334]

Lying cable wrist curls

Not a single open cardio machine

Lots of dudes who think they're jacked showing their friend stuff and spewing broscience everywhere
